The Endler Concert Series presents celebrated pianist Gustavo Romero on Sunday, 6 August at 16h30 at the Endler Hall, Stellenbosch.

Romero has a stellar reputation for both the technical brilliance and interpretive depth of his playing, as well as his commitment to an in-depth exploration of individual composers. A native of San Diego, California with heritage in Guadalajara, Mexico, Romero discovered his love and gift for music at age five when introduced to the piano of a neighbor. His formal training continued at The Juilliard School, where he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degree.

In 1989, Romero was the winner of the prestigious Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in Switzerland. Other major awards include the Avery Fisher Career Grant; Musical America Young Artist of 1988, Austin, TX; “Key to the City Award” and the Maurice Braun Award of the San Diego Historical Society.
